This video wasn’t created to embarrass the victims of this crime, it was created to bring education, public awareness, and to show the best example of how quickly these young criminals are committing these crimes. They almost always arrive into our Gloucester Township and surrounding town neighborhoods in a stolen vehicle, several suspects bail out and begin checking door handles on vehicles parked in neighborhoods, steal valuables, and attempt to steal the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal and start button in the event the key FOB was left in that vehicle. If successful, they’ll use that stolen vehicle to commit more crimes, then dump it somewhere when they’re done.
